In October 2015 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work East Village No. 19 And 27 (Two Works) by Rong Rong. The »bidding war« ended at HKD 162,500.00 (€ 18,984.33), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Rong Rong - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rong Rong'S East Village, 1993-1998 (Set Of Forty Prints), which sold at auction in October 2010 for HKD 475,000.00 (€ 44,101.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2015 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit East Village No. 19 And 27 (Two Works) von Rong Rong zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von HKD 162.500,00 (€ 18.984,33) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Rong Rong mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rong Rong'S East Village, 1993-1998 (Set Of Forty Prints) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2010 für HKD 475.000,00 (€ 44.101,77) versteigert wurde.
